Phase-field fracture (PFF) modeling is a popular approach to model and simulate fracture
processes in solids. Accurate material parameters and boundary conditions are of utmost …

Failure in brittle rock happens because micro-cracks in the crystal structure coalesce and
form a localized fracture. The propagation of the fracture is in turn strongly influenced by …

We present a novel poro-damage-viscoelastic model for predicting the failure response of
fluid-saturated porous geomaterials. The Generalized Maxwell model is introduced for the …

A novel anisotropic ductile damage model at finite strains is proposed in this work. The
model is formulated based on the fictitious configuration concept and includes deformation …

An anisotropic damage model is proposed for concrete materials. As required by
thermodynamics a single damage variable, tensorial, is considered for any loading: as a …

Abstract Integral Non-Local (INL) formulations are often used to regularize Continuum
Damage computations, in the presence of stress softening for instance. The introduction of a …

The numerical treatment of propagating fractures as embedded discontinuities is a
challenging task for which an analyst has to select a suitable numerical method from a range …

This paper systematically evaluates (in the one-dimensional setting) the performance of a
new type of integral nonlocal averaging scheme, initially motivated by the idea of internal …

In order to exclude spurious failure in compression the consideration of tension compression
asymmetry (TCA) in damage models is of great interest in research as well as in industry …

The Eikonal non-local damage (ENL) approach models damage as a space-deforming
phenomenon that affects the interaction distance between material points. As damage …
